S 3005-G80YNCSvsRAL 110-2RAL EffectΔE 16.5Distinct difference

S 3005-G80Y (NCS) and RAL 110-2 (RAL Effect) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 28-point LRV gap — 72 for RAL 110-2 vs 44 for S 3005-G80Y — means RAL 110-2 will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 16.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
